I still can’t believe that this is happening to me, but next week I am flying to New York City to be on the Dr. Oz show! The show will be taped on Wednesday and will air at a later time. I will definitely let you know when it will be shown!
After I do the taping I’ll fill you in on the behind the scenes of the taping experience. I’m sure it will be very interesting and exciting.
You know, there are a lot of talk shows out there but Dr. Oz’s show is my favorite. I like how he is very passionate about helping people fight obesity, heart disease, and other medical diseases. So I’m very excited to have the opportunity to meet him.
Throughout my years of maintenance I’ve done a lot of interviews and talks but they have always been on a local basis. So this is a wonderful blessing for me. It’s also a little bit scary of course. But before I got too worried about it, I realized that a lot of the things in my life that have been challenging and hard have been the most rewarding.
Losing weight was hard but it ranks right up there with one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. Raising a large family isn’t always easy, but seeing all the children grow and mature is a blessing beyond words. And learning new things about myself is sometimes stressful but always teaches me about a part of myself I didn’t know was there.
So stepping outside my own local area may be a bit frightening but I know that the rewards and experiences are irreplaceable, and I wouldn’t miss them for the world.
Thank you for letting me share my exciting news with you. It was fun to tell my friends and family and I’ve been bursting at the seams to share the news with my blogging friends too!! Diane
By the way – I’ve got a really, really fabulous giveaway on Monday. I get asked to do them all the time, but this one is one of the few I’ve been sold on!
Hooray! It will be interesting to see what he asks, and what you say. I would be incredibly nervous too. I think you are a perfect person to talk to because you have maintained well, and remain committed and plugged in to your goals. Congratulations!

What an exciting opportunity! I doubt I’ll get to see it over here in the UK, but I’m sure you’ll be great – your passion for the subject is always inspiring and you’re so articulate and well-informed as well!
Best of luck, I hope you enjoy the experience
I LOVE DR OZ…
Am a fan of his on Facebook and have his website – always to and watch the video clips – he is fantastic and makes the big words more understandable.
I will love to see your show online…so keep us informed…
I know someone famous now…YOU

Congratulations on the WONDERFUL opportunity- you deserve it ! Dr Oz is my hero because he is the first person to talk about Reiki healing to a national audience ( his wife is a fellow Reiki master and he uses a reiki healer in the operating room). Then when you add all he does to educate people on health in a very obtainable way, it just gets better. I definitely plan on watching !

how wonderful for you.
I agree, he is very prohealth
and does a very good job.
I can well imagine how nervous you must be, but if you have done a lot of local things, you are probably better prepared than you realize. And HE is very experienced in interviewing people. So I am sure it will be smooth and enjoyable for you.
.-= vickie´s last blog ..Paula =-.
AWESOME!!! I’m eager to hear the details!
They contacted me and interviewed me, but I guess I didn’t make the cut because they never called back. Which is only fitting, considering I’ve never even seen the show.
Enjoy your experience! I know you’ll be a fantastic ambassador for us!:)
Dr. Oz is SMART. THIS proves it! How very exciting!!!

Diane that is great!! Dr. Oz is awesome. I can’t wait to see the show. It’s so neat to read about you and your experience but to actually see you on TV will be amazing!! I think it’s great you’re going to be on the show. If we as a fitness community of bloggers can do anything, it is to help people fight obesity. Obesity is a medical problem in itself but it leads to so many other medical problems. I don’t want people to feel like that have to be size 0! No! I just want to help people get healthy and fit so they can actually start living again. Can’t wait to see you on TV!!!!

I told hubby…”You know Diane?” And he had his back to me looking at something, but nodded, and I said “She’s going to be on Dr. Oz.” He about broke his neck turning around to look at me. LOL
We are already lucky enough to know you, now millions more will, too! : )
